Jesus speaks: I come to you with My heart on fire with love of you. You came to Me and I filled you. I made ready a path for you and you were guided by the hand of God. My blessings are numerous. I give you water for your thirst, love for your heart and blessings for your soul. You are filled with the gifts of the Holy Spirit and My Father watches your every step lest you stumble and fall. My child, I am your tremendous lover. I wait and watch by your side. I feel your pain, your grief, your sorrow.
No man can ever be as attentive to your needs as I, Jesus, your beautiful spouse. I am hyper-vigilant, I am with you. Never do I move. You have felt alone and scared and thought I was not there, but I am indeed here in this cross. This is the way to Me. The way to Me is picking up your cross and praising the one, true God Who gives this to you. The yearning will be satisfied by My love, and what a union it is-to connect with Me after spiritual bankruptcy! You have been dried out and thrown on the heap and now I pick you up. I breathe life into your soul. I wrap you in My cloth. I kiss your wounds and I hold you in My arms. Do you believe, child, that I am truly here? Oh, ye of little faith, in your desperation, you cried out to the one Who loves you and I made you whole. I filled you with beautiful, sparkling grace. Love abounded in your soul and you did not wait for naught. You waited for the Lord and I quenched the thirst in the hard, baked desert. You are filled in your dryness and you know that only the Person Who is almighty has this power. Come to Me, all who labor and are heavily burdened. I make the crooked ways straight. I give strength to the bowed down. I refresh your starved soul.
Oh ye of little faith, come, come, My children. I am your God. Did you think I would desert you? No, child. I make your ways brimming with milk and honey. I light your path with beaming light and you are free, fed, nourished, loved. You are filled to the brim with the wholeness of Me.
Only I can love you as God loves you. You know when I lick your wounds and make you better. It is in spiritual starvation that you realize the prize. I am He Who picks you up and sets your feet on solid ground. Come to Me and be filled with such love, only the love which I can give. The crooked ways are made straight, enemies speak to each other and are filled. My love abounds in the hearts of the bowed down and they know the might which I feed them. I am He, your God. Child, I stand by you when your heart aches. I pick you up as a child with a wounded knee, I bind your little wounds up, I kiss your little scared heart and I send you on your way to play. I am the Good shepherd. I know Mine and Mine know Me. I walk in the valley of darkness, down your path with you and I spread My light in all the dark corners.
You never fall. You never walk alone. You are not hurt. I am God. Do you think I will forget you. I never slumber. I never sleep. I watch day and night. I am God at your side.
